I hope you can tell me a bit more about this bird, i found it in my fully locked up house, so no idear how it got in but, this bird was about 10cm in length, it had a black beak, 1 1/2 cm a gray head its back was a greeny pecock colour and black feet and the hole chest was white with a zebra like  bronze colour across it's chest, it was beutifull, was it a rear bird?,
and is it unusual to have seen one in Queensland on the sunshine coast?
 
p.s. it recooped in a shoe box for a hour and i had given it  some water with my nails and in half a hour it flew a way,
it was so quiet i didn't even hear the wings, so think it mite be a Honeyeater,green backed :- Glycichaera Fallax am i right ?
love to her from you
